Online equality and diversity training This training is mandatory for all staff. New members of staff will automatically be sent the link to the training as part of their induction. From January 2015, staff will only be able to sit on recruitment and promotion panels if they have completed the online training and the Recruitment and selection workshop.

Who it is suitable for

This is the ideal opportunity to gain a greater awareness of the University; its history, research, alumni, community engagement and plans for the future, in addition to an introduction to the numerous support services available to all employees.

This event builds from your local induction, which should take place in your first few weeks, and will reinforce your welcome to the University.

You will have a better view of how your role contributes to the success of the University and will have developed knowledge that will build on and support relevant local induction activities.
